The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:33:07 at Heerenveen 2026 put Bart Van Dongen 705th of 966 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 43% of the field beaten on the stations, against 19% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:39 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:15 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Heerenveen ran fast: the 973 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:11 quicker here than at their other races.
